Kranjska Gora, a well known winter and summer resort in Slovenia, hosted the European Masters Downhill and Cross Country Championships this weekend for the second time since 2009. Fourteen titles were awarded to riders from seven countries.
A technical and physically demanding cross country course presented a problem for many riders, but not for the masters at the top of each age group. The strongest races were in the youngest groups, 30-34 and 35-39, in which the fastest set some amazing lap times.
Laurent Spiesser from France was the fastest of the day and took the title in the 30 to 34-year-old group, but the Italians got an excuse for the biggest party - their riders won four out of seven titles.
A list of title winners is below and complete results by category follow.

30-34 years: Laurent Spiesser (Fra) Batibois Alsace
35-39 years: Massimo Folcarelli (Ita) ASD Dream Team
